This workshop is meant to be an introduction to the assessment and treatment of OCD, and is intended for therapists of all levels who are not currently OCD specialists, but are interested in learning more about the basics of OCD and ERP when working with clients of all ages.
About The Workshop:
About 1 in 40 adults in the US have OCD, not including the large percentage of people who have symptoms that fall in the sub-clinical range. Therapists are likely finding that more and more clients are presenting to therapy with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder symptoms, and are in need of correct, up-to-date, and evidenced based information on how to support their clients when they suspect a possible OCD diagnosis.
Understanding the symptoms of OCD and the specialized and evidence-based treatments for OCD are the key to positive client outcomes. This workshop will serve as a great primer for any therapist or mental health professional looking to gain more knowledge on OCD symptoms in clients of all ages, and how OCD can (often sneakily) present in the therapy room, and what to do about it.
Therapists will gain tools and knowledge on the assessment and treatment process of OCD including an overview of OCD subtypes beyond contamination and symmetry, family accommodation cycles, differential diagnosis overview, and an overview of Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) - considered the gold standard for OCD treatment. Therapists will leave this workshop with a deeper understanding of what OCD is and how it works/shows up for clients, the appropriate tools to screen/assess clients for OCD symptoms and resources and guidelines on how and when to refer to an OCD specialist or higher level of care.
